grey curse Report post Posted September 27, 2022 I heard it was a rough hunt. No bugling, hot and water everywhere. But that’s just from the one co worker I talked to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your coworker speaks the truth. I got my butt handed to me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thegunsmith2506 Report post Posted September 27, 2022 I think the 2nd week was pretty good. I saw a few good bulls killed. A few days they were talking all day long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues7777 Report post Posted September 27, 2022 Hopefully they left a lot of good bulls for the late rifle hunt...😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooterpar Report post Posted September 28, 2022 Should be plenty of good bulls on the late hunt. We had a great few weeks, will get some pictures posted soon. Was just wondering how the rest of the unit was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goinhuntn Report post Posted October 5, 2022 Saw bulls everyday just couldn’t get close for a shot! It was warm & the ground was dry & crunchy. Bugling was non existent where we were. Hunted hard for 10 days & had a great time even though I ate tag soup. Definitely got schooled by elk for sure. It was an awesome time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G_E_E Report post Posted October 7, 2022 Good bugling the last few days of the hunt in morning and evening(one day they bugled till almost noon) . My buddy got it done last few minutes of light on last day. Definitely tough before that. AZGFD needs to push that hunt back towards the end of September. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Rut always has been different every year and people have been trying to figure it out for generations. I can remember past years when people posted there was very little and sporadic bugling. I was in Pine last weekend and the neighborhood 6X was bugling from 4PM to 10AM. At 9MA I was on the Colcord Rd and heard a bull at 9AM so you just never know.

They need to cut the tags in half in that unit. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They would bugle about 1/2 hour in the morning & evening they started about 1/2 hour before dark. It was tough where we were, but can’t complain I had 10 days solid hunting & saw elk everyday & bulls everyday. Just couldn’t get it done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shooterpar Report post Posted October 8, 2022 Here’s a few of the 8 bulls that I was fortunate enough to help out on this year. We had some awesome hunters that could all get it done when the pressure rose. Happy hunting. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
